GARDASIL is the only HPV vaccine that helps protect against 4 types of HPV.
In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases.
In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.
-----------------------------------
Once someone hits 26, does this become off label use? If so, could a California Pharmacist immunize someone who is 1 day over 26 years old?
I know we can immunize as long as it is FDA indicated 9-26..
I was just curious about the cut off. If it is 26 year old + a couple days older, Does that mean this vaccine become off label use from that point?
